American,Certified public Accountant {C.P.A} as well, a personal
account
officer to the Late Mr Juan Garcia, an oil
expatriate with my country, who died on june 1990.
I was his personal account officer,i sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. It's all about soliciting your
attention to transfer the Sum of Twenty six
million, US, dollars. ($26m) Note: The formal (diceased), named Mr Juan
Garcia died in a
motor accident with his wife. On further investigation i found out that
he
died without making any will,and all attempt to trace his next kin was
fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr Juan
Garcia
did not declare any kin or relations in all his offical
documents,including
his bank Deposit paperwork in my
bank So based on this, that is the most reason why you were contacted
in
regards, This sum of us$26,000,00 have been floating as unclaimed since
1990
in my bank as all effort to get his relatives have hit the
stone.According
to the law , the money will be revert to the
ownership of the Government of my country if nobody applies to claim
the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that i want to seek your consent as a
foreigner
to stand in as the next of kin to the decesased so that the bank will
transfer the money to your designated
account.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully
worked out.I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to
locate
any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I am assuring you that
the
business is risk free involvement .Your share stays while the rest be
for
myself and for investment purpose as i will leave my country as soon as
the
funds gets into your account.The sharing of the fund will be based
According
to agreement
within me and you. As soon as i receive an acknowledgement receipt of
this
message in acceptance of our mutual business proposal, I will furnish
you
with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both
parties
without any conflict.If this proposal is acceptable
by you,do not take advantage of the trust i have bestowed in you.
PLEASE, APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT DOING BUSINESS OVER THE INTERNET IS
RISK
